LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A gunman opened fire Thursday at Los Angeles International Airport near the ticket counter of Israel's El Al Airlines,
"We don't know a motive," Frank said
I think Frank may be suffering from temporary stupidity. The motive is very clear. Why would he go to Israels airline and not American, Or Contenental....DUH!

I know it a security site, of course it is. Everybody here knows that, it doesn't mean that people here can't converse about subjects other than security, that is the whole point of the chit chat and the cosmos forum. I think you need to understand that there is more to this site than just security. Perhaps, you should take a look in cosmos and see if all those posts are about security.

A Russian Tupolev (on board: 69 passengers - including 52 children) collided with a transport plane (Boeing 757, owned by DHL) above Germany on July 2nd. At least 71 people died in the crash. Both planes were flying at the same height. The Tupolev only received the first warning from the flight-control center 50 seconds before the crash happened (the flight-control leader was on a 'break'). Both planes were adviced to descend.

And about CNN: search CNN for 'Tupolev': quotes don't need comment in this case.

July 1 At least two people were believed to have been killed.

July 2Both pilots in a midair collision that killed 71 people -- most of them children and teenagers -- were believed to be diving to try to avoid a crash

Now compare that to the BBC-reports... CNN may be the first one to report those kinds of news; at least there are others who get their facts straight before they report on it.
(Oh, and about the dates: it was July 1 in the States when the crash happened, but already July 2nd in the UK).
